Travesti
In some cultures, most particularly in South America, a travesti is a
person who has been assigned male at birth and who has a feminine,
transfeminine or "femme" gender identity and is connected to a local
socio-political identity.
Travestis have been described as a third gender, but not all see
themselves this way. By the mid-2010s, a majority of South American
trans social movements and activism tend to acknowledge travesti as
both a possible gender identity, and a possible socio-political
identifier adopted by those who identify as women but were assigned
male at birth

WinkteWinkte (also spelled wíŋtke) is the contraction of an old Lakota
word, winyanktehca, meaning '[wants] to be like a woman'.[1]
Historically, the winkte have been considered a social category of
male-bodied people who adopt the clothing, work, and mannerisms that
Lakota culture usually considers feminine.[1] In contemporary Lakota
culture, winkte is usually used to refer to a homosexual man, whether
or not that man is in other ways gender non-conforming. They may or
may not consider themselves part of the more mainstream gay or
transgender communities. Many modern winkte participate in the
pan-Indian two-spirit community;[1] sometimes the direction to adopt
this social and spiritual role comes in a series of dreams.[1]
While historical accounts of their status vary, most accounts treated
the winkte as regular members of the community, and not in any way
marginalized for their status

OaxacaOaxaca (southern Mexico), a muxe (also spelled
muxhe; [muʃeʔ]) is an assigned male at birth individual who dresses
and behaves in ways otherwise associated with the female gender; they

women’s work such as embroidery or decorating home altars, but
others do the male work of making jewelry".[3][4]

Fakaleiti
A fakaleiti (or leiti or fakafefine or lady) is a Tongan male assigned
at birth individual who behaves in a relatively effeminate manner.
Although fakaleiti in
TongaTonga do not necessarily associate with
transgender or gay and lesbian identities in the Western world, those
who grow up in Tongan migrant communities in New Zealand, Australia,
and the United States may find a greater level of community and
affinity to similar identities than fakaleiti in the island kingdom.
The term fakaleiti (with a long i at the end) is made up of the prefix
faka- (in the manner of) and the borrowing lady from English.
Fakaleitis themselves prefer to call themselves leiti or ladies.
Fakaleiti or fakafefine are similar to Samoan fa'afafine and Hawaiian
mahu.

Akava'ineAkava'ine is a
Cook Islands Māori word which has come, since the
2000s, to refer to transgender people of Māori descent from the Cook
Islands.
It is not an old custom but rather a contemporary identity almost
solely influenced by other Polynesians, naturally, through
cross-cultural interaction of Polynesians living in New Zealand,
especially the Samoan "Fa'afafine", transgender people who hold a
special place in Sāmoan society.[1]Contents1 Etymology
